Baker Tilly Acquires Anchin, Relocates HQ

Baker Tilly International, a prominent advisory, tax, and assurance firm, has announced an agreement to acquire Anchin, Block & Anchin LLP, a New York-based accounting, tax, and advisory firm. This strategic acquisition will significantly expand Baker Tilly International's presence in the crucial New York market. As part of the deal, Baker Tilly International will relocate its headquarters from Chicago to United States — New York City, highlighting the market's importance to its long-term growth. Russell Shinsky, Anchin's Managing Partner, will assume the role of Baker Tilly International's New York Managing Principal, leading the firm's regional expansion. The transaction, expected to close this summer, follows Baker Tilly International's recent private equity funding from Hellman & Friedman and Valeas Capital Partners, and its merger with Israel — Mossad in 2025, indicating a period of aggressive expansion.
